Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandments, that I command thee this day, take great care to observe: that you may live, and be multiplied, and going in may possess the land, for which the Lord swore to your fathers.
Samalani potsata lamulo lililonse limene ndikukupatsani lero, kuti mukhale ndi moyo ndi kuchulukana kuti mulande ndi kulowa mʼdziko limene Yehova analumbira kuti adzapereka kwa makolo anu.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way through which the Lord thy God hath brought thee for forty years through the desert, to afflict thee and to prove thee, and that the things that were in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no.
Kumbukirani mmene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakutsogolerani njira yonse mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi, kukutsitsani ndi kukuyesani kuti adziwe chimene chinali mu mtima mwanu ngati mungathe kusunga malamulo ake kapena ayi.
3 He afflicted thee with want, and gave thee manna for thy food, which neither thou nor thy fathers knew: to shew that not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
Iye anakutsitsani nakumvetsani njala kenaka nʼkukudyetsani mana amene anali osadziwika kwa inu kapena makolo anu, kuti akuphunzitseni kuti munthu sadzakhala ndi moyo ndi chakudya chokha koma ndi mawu aliwonse ochokera mʼkamwa mwa Yehova.
4 Thy raiment, with which thou wast covered, hath not decayed for age, and thy foot is not worn, lo this is the fortieth year,
Mʼzaka makumi anayi zimenezi, zovala zanu sizinangʼambike ndipo mapazi anu sanatupe.
5 That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up.
Tsono dziwani mu mtima mwanu kuti monga abambo amalanga mwana wawo, momwemonso Yehova Mulungu wanu amakulangani.
6 That thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
Samalirani malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wanu, kuyenda mʼnjira yake ndi kumuopa Iye.
7 For the Lord thy God will bring thee into a good land, of brooks and of waters, and of fountains: in the plains of which and the hills deep rivers break out:
Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulowetsani mʼdziko labwino, dziko lokhala ndi mitsinje ndi mathawale a madzi, akasupe oyenderera mu zigwa ndi mʼmapiri,
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vineyards, wherein fig trees and pomegranates, and oliveyards grow: a land of oil and honey.
dziko lokhala ndi tirigu ndi barele, mpesa ndi mitengo ya mkuyu, makangadza, mafuta a olivi ndi uchi;
9 Where without any want thou shalt eat thy bread, and enjoy abundance of all things: where the stones are iron, and out of its hills are dug mines of brass:
dziko limene buledi sadzasowa ndipo simudzasowa chilichonse; dziko limene miyala yake ndi chitsulo ndipo ku mapiri ake mukhoza kukumbako mkuwa.
10 That when thou hast eaten, and art full, thou mayst bless the Lord thy God for the excellent land which he hath given thee.
Mukadya ndi kukhuta, yamikani Yehova Mulungu wanu chifukwa cha dziko labwino limene wakupatsani.
11 Take heed, and beware lest at any time thou forget the Lord thy God, and neglect his commandments and judgments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day:
Samalani kuopa kuti mungayiwale Yehova Mulungu wanu posasunga malamulo, zikhazikitso ndi malangizo ake amene ndikukupatsani lero,
12 Lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them,
kuopa kuti mukadya ndi kukhuta, mukamanga nyumba zabwino ndi kukhalamo,
13 And shalt have herds of oxen and flocks of sheep, and plenty of gold and of silver, and of all things,
ndi pamene ngʼombe zanu ndi nkhosa zanu zaswana, ndi siliva ndi golide wanu wachuluka ndiponso kuti zonse zimene muli nazo zachuluka,
14 Thy heart be lifted up, and thou remember not the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
mtima wanu udzayamba kunyada ndi kuyiwala Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene anakutulutsani ku Igupto, kukuchotsani ku dziko la ukapolo.
15 And was thy leader in the great and terrible wilderness, wherein there was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth streams out of the hardest rock,
Iye anakutsogolerani kudutsa mʼchipululu chachikulu ndi chochititsa mantha, dziko lija la ludzu ndi lopanda madzi, lokhala ndi njoka zaululu ndi zinkhanira. Iye anatulutsa madzi kuchokera mʼthanthwe lowuma.
16 And fed thee in the wilderness with manna which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proved thee, at the last he had mercy on thee,
Iye anakupatsani mana kuti mudye mʼchipululu, zinthu zoti ngakhale makolo anu sanazidziwe, kuti akuchepetseni ndi kukuyesani ndipo kuti pa mapeto pake zikuyendereni bwino.
17 Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved all these things for me.
Mu mtima mwanu mukhoza kuganiza kuti, “Mphamvu zanga ndi kulimbika kwa dzanja langa ndi zimene zandilemeretsa chonchi.”
18 But remember the Lord thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfill his covenant, concerning which he swore to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.
Koma kumbukirani Yehova Mulungu chifukwa ndi amene amakupatsani mphamvu zopezera chuma chimenechi kuti atsimikize pangano limene analumbira kwa makolo anu, monga liliri lero lino.
19 But if thou forget the Lord thy God, and follow strange gods, and serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt utterly perish.
Ine ndine mboni yokutsutsani lero lino, kuti mukayiwala Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kutsata milungu ina nʼkumayigwadira, mudzawonongeka ndithu.
20 As the nations, which the Lord destroyed at thy entrance, so shall you also perish, if you be disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
Monga mitundu ina ya anthu imene Yehova anayiwononga pamaso panu, inunso mudzawonongedwa chifukwa chosamvera Yehova Mulungu wanu.
